JessaLu Knits (and Spins!)

Archive for March, 2005

I just bought my first set of Crystal Palace needles and oh my God I
don’t think I can ever go back to my semi-crappy Clover bamboo
needles…I think these just might get that sweater done a bit quicker
:o) I finally decided on a sweater, it’s a lovely cardi from ChicKnits. I’m using an acrylic yarn *gasp* but it is
super soft and super easy to work with and also super cheap in case I
screw up :o)

I’ve finally managed to figure out how to add links to this thing – I
added knittting links for now. I also wanted to talk a bit about how
much knitting has helped me become a calmer person. I didn’t think it
possible since I’m pretty high-strung (as my family and significant
other can attest) but when I’m knitting I feel very calm and am able to
almost meditate. It has helped me alot – and it has helped me lose
weight since I can’t eat when I knit! 20 lbs and counting!
